Abstract: A Method for providing a trusted feedback (8, 80) in an access network (1) is described, wherein a real time service monitor (7, 70) for real time monitoring the quality of service provided to at least one user (4, 40) by a server (3, 30) via the access network (1) is placed in an access multiplexer (2, 20) being the last part of the access network (1) towards the user (4, 40), wherein the real time service monitor (7, 70) is sending a trusted feedback signal (8, 80) from the access multiplexer (2, 20) at least back to the server (3, 30), which signal (8, 80) comprises real time information about the quality of service passing through the access multiplexer (2, 20), plus an access network (1) comprising at least one data link connecting at least one access multiplexer (2, 20) being the last part of the access network (1) towards at least one user (4, 40) with a core network or at least one server (3, 30) providing a service (6, 60) to the user (4, 40) connected to the access network (1) via the access multipl

Abstract: The device according invention has a programme memory wherein fragments of a broadcasted programme are temporarily stored, and is able to share programme fragments with similar devices in order to recompose the broadcasted programme at a time-shifted moment. By integrating devices according to the invention in network nodes, like for instance access network aggregating nodes (DSLAMS, DLCs, Fibre Aggregators, remote DSLAMs), and/or switches, routers and/or home-based terminals, a distributed Personal Video Recorder is for instance realized.
